Blowout Bars Are The New Nail Salon!

When I was a kid, one of my all-time favorite things to do was go with my mom to her weekly mani appointment. It was at the same time every week and the same women were always there at the same time. What I didn't know then was that the weekly tradition wasn't only about having having freshly painted nails; it was also about taking a few minutes to yourself during a hectic week.

But that was long before the gel manis and decals. Now that manis are lasting longer (and more fun to do at home!), the weekly tradition has been bumped by a new me-time must: the blowout bar.

Have you guys seen these places? A blowout bar is a salon that only does blowouts. No cuts. No color. No extensions or perms. Just a reasonably-priced, super-fast blowdry that you can usually book online. So, whether it’s a weekend ritual or a Monday morning must, you’ll get great hair without breaking the bank.
